TODAY’S protest against the deployment of US nuclear-armed bombers at the RAF base in Lakenheath is a welcome intervention by the peace movement.
The stationing of US nuclear weapons in Britain indicates the return to an escalatory policy of nuclear brinksmanship and sharpens the risk of nuclear war. That, it goes without saying, places an unacceptable burden on populations everywhere; the public is right to be outraged.
The RAF Lakenheath stationing would be the first time in well over a decade that Britain would be made to host such US-controlled nuclear weapons. Yet the British public appears to have learned of this consequential decision through an exclusive report in the Telegraph in January when the paper revealed Washington’s plans.
